The portion 9 100 has its lower end terminating in a loop 10 to provide a hand hold as will be apparent.

One of the bearing brackets for the shaft 6 is substantially larger than the other bearing bracket, and as best shown in Figures 9 to 11 inclusive include arms 11 and 12 ot' ditterent lengths. These arms 11 and 12 are formed with apertured ears 18 arranged at right angles thereto and for the purpose ot receiving a suitable securing means such as screws, whereby this bracket can be secured to the top or side of the vehicle body as shown in Figures 2 and 4, and when the bracket is secured to the sides, the shaft is mounted for rotation in an opening la formed in the bight portion 15, but when the bracket is secured to the top, the shaft is received in an eye 16 arranged at the juncture ot the arm 1l with the bight portion as best shown in Figi ure 9. rlie bight portion has formed therewith tongues indicated reseectively by the reference numerals 17 and 18, and these tongues are disposed to receive the handle tor supporting the shield in its raised position. The tongue 17 is adapted for this purpose when the bracket is secured to the side oit the vehicle while the tongue 1S is used when the bracket is secured to the top of the vehicle.

Cooperating with the bracket which includes the tongues 17 and 18, is a bracket 19 for receiving the opposite end of the shatt, and the bracket 19 is provided with an opening 2() and an eye 21 for receiving the shaft which is not only mounted for rotation in either the openings or the eyes, but is free to move longitudinally therein so that the handle can be moved into and out of engagement with the tongues 17 and 18 when it is desired to raise or lower the shield.

A reinforcing strip 22 is provided at the upper edge of the sheets for receiving the rivets 5, and if desired, bracing strips tor the sheets may be provided and in this event the strips will be disposed transversely of the sheets and have one ot their ends secured to the housings while the opposite ends are secured adjacent to the outer edges o't said sheets. A guide member may likewise be provided for said sheets to prevent them from buckling or being unduly spaced apart in the event isinglass, Celluloid or like flexible ma` terial is used. Y

From the above description and disclosure of the drawings, it will be obvious that I have provided. a non-glare shield that in cludes adjustably mounted translucent sheets whereby they can be disposed across the entire width ot a vehicle windshield, and the shield can be secured to the top or the sides ot the body in a manner as set forth.

It is thought from the foregoing descripn tion that the advantages and novel features of my invention will be readily apparent.

I desire it to be understood that I may make changes in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claim.

What I claim is:

A non-glare shield for motor vehicles comprising brackets having openings therein, eyes formed with said brackets, a shaft mounted in said brackets for rotation and being adapted to be received in the openings when said brackets are secured to the sides of a vehicle body and in the eyes when the brackets are secured to the top of said body, telescopically mounted means secured to said shaft, depending portions included in said telescopically mounted means, an elongated sheet ot colored semi-transparent material secured to the depending portions and arranged in overlapped association, a handle secured to said telescopically mounted means and being curved upon itself, and tongues formed with one of said brackets and being arranged to receive the curved portion of said handle tor supporting the glare shield `in raised position.

In testimony whereof I aiiix my signature.

NICK L'. FURJANICK.
